(Sorry, I should reply when I'm not able to actually pay attention)
your code works fine with a hump, I didn't read the example carefully enough
>>> x = np.arange(10,0,-1)
>>> x2 = 25-(x-5)**2
>>> x2
array([ 0, 9, 16, 21, 24, 25, 24, 21, 16, 9])
>>> T=20
>>> np.argmax(x2<T)
0
>>> np.arange(x2.shape[0])[x2 >= T][-1]+1
8
>>> len(x)-np.argmax(x2[::]>T) + 1
8
